Welcome to 2019. We hope that the year is filled with memorable moments, growth and destiny’s best for you.

For most part of the year, Jupiter remains in the sign of Scorpio owned by its friend Mars. One can expect great developments in the new knowledge, cutting edge growth led by new discoveries and innovations and learning. But for most part there could be an element of surprise or secrecy to it. Rapid strides in technology using artificial intelligence, new techniques in medicine and surgery or development of new weaponry and warfare methods are possible.

From the month of March, Saturn remains conjunct with Ketu in the sign of Sagittarius. Many an organisation may witness overhauling of structures, difficult equation among the hierarchies – imbalance of power centres as there is difficulty in getting along.

The year 2019 for Sagittarius/ Dhanu in a nutshell:

The individuals born under this sign of the zodiac are likely to have a hectic and eventful year. It’s best to gear up for some surprises or sudden unexpected situations. The year may open with some stressful financial obligations demanding your attention. You may have several diverse matters crowding your mind for attention and this could keep your focus scattered.

There could be lots of movement, far reaching changes and a different, more radical attitude and character emerge during this time. Some individuals may find amazing potential and hidden reserves of strength found in really challenging situations. There could be new possibilities explored in a completely different country altogether. On a personal/emotional front, this is a year of self-work, self-discovery and trying quite a few things for the first time.

You may have more challenges than usual this year especially from the month of March till October. Jupiter’s transit through your twelfth house does not augur well for finances. There may be unnecessary and unexpected expenses draining your savings and in some extreme cases creating possibilities of incurring debt. Some of your own initiatives may require more resources than you anticipated leading to additional anxiety as well as burden.

You may discover a contractor or even a subordinate/employee siphoning off funds, if you do not keep firm control. The difficult conjunction of Saturn, Moon and Ketu in your ascendant creates a pretty strong force that may affect your mind as well as productivity fairly often this year. Saturn’s direct aspect on your 10th house of career and profession, along with Janm Shani- the tough middle part of the Sade Sati can cause stress.

There could occasions where you feel everything is futile. Difficult episodes with superiors, lack of recognition and appreciation may foster thoughts of calling it quits. It is not a wise decision when most of the important transits are unfavourable. Some Sagittarius folk may be forced to opt for difficult choices – away from home/ family, with difficult travel involved, monotonous and dull routine- a life almost as if invisible to others.

The financial stress along with restlessness and a lack of recognition may have some folk consider entrepreneurship. Do note however, that this is not the time to upset a balance and start something new. You may not be able to find success or support at this juncture in time. Do read about the Sade Sati period and understand that pressure is intense sometimes and not getting what you want, often forces us to come with amazing discoveries about ourselves and what we’re capable of!

Businesses run in partnership, run the risk of differences getting blown way out of proportion. Keep your communication cordial and all dealings/ transactions ethical and above board. Some Sagittarius individual may be able to move abroad mid-year for work. There may be some difficulty adjusting to a new culture but it becomes better with time. The last quarter of the year brings relief in most aspects. Do not get tangled in legal trouble.

The individuals with dependants that have special needs may experience exhaustion at a mental level too – it is best to seek help and not isolate yourself.
